71 Days ’til 40: If I Could Only Tell You…

12Dec

People are polite….. well, often. Yes, we all run across those individuals who say something so disrespectful that we fantasize about running them down with a lawnmower, but they are the exception. We are, for the most part, a civil society that does not want to rock the boat or hurt any person’s feelings. This is why it is so challenging, at times, for people to say what they are really thinking. Have you ever fantasized about no longer being constrained by social mores? What if you REALLY could say whatever you wanted to, whenever you wanted to, without having to worry about hurting a person’s feelings……. what would be on your list? Would any of these things be???

Are you attempting to make candles in your ear? If not, perhaps a Q-tip will help?

Please control your Tasmanian devil (I mean, child)

Cover your mouth when you cough, I am not interested in your sharing your germs with me.

Have you thought about changing soap lately?

Do you REALLY think painting your eyelids blue makes you more attractive?

What statement are you trying to make? really?

It appears your watch is on “make everyone miserable by waiting for me” time.

Okay, the quotes above are not SOOOO bad, but you get the point. Sometimes we all fantasize over saying something to another human. Thankfully, we are such a caring species that very few of us would even begin to consider acting out our fantasies.

Today, 71 days ’til 40, I would like to ask my reader, “What are you too polite to tell?”

i once knew a guy who was just like that, he had no filter at all, and man was he hurtful to everyone. there was a small part of me that admired the “ability” but it was venomous. he would go for the jugular everytime

That I would make more progress insofar as her financial affairs are concerned, if she’d choose to simply (apparently not simple at all) fermez la bouche and stop trying to control every second of every meeting we have. We can only spend time once! I’m giving you the REALLY polite version! Hugs till next time. Shalom!!!

Twenty-one other people have liked this but no one said anything? Okay, then: First!😉 Something I’d like to say to a certain someone but never will is, “No matter how much you try, you’ll never be able to go faster than that car in front of you.” Hey, that felt good!

There are people who because of unusual mental wiring or brain damage do just what you suggest. It’s also noticeable that many frail old people feel they can say and do whatever they like because people will be constrained by their obvious vulnerability from responding sharply.

What do I not say? You smell. You have verbal diarrhea. Your poem is embarrassingly trite. Do you actually try hard to foul things up? You are talking in sterotypes and jargon and I suspect you don’t know what you’re talking about (OK, I might possibly say that in a slightly toned-down version, but not when I was employed and it was a senior officer talking). I’m not the least interested in the monarchy (to an ardent monarchist). I formed the wrong impression of you initially because of your accent/car/clothes/pushing in front of me/interrupting me/political views, but you actually seem quite human. This meal you have just cooked is unpalatable (unless I paid for it).

Well, yes, there’s unspoken road rage: You *******! You ******* ****! One day, perhaps, our brains will be in instant communication with an illuminated sign above the car. This would be useful for conveying messages like YOU’VE BEEN INDICATING LEFT FOR THE PAST TEN MINUTES or SORRY, MY FAULT but also for the messages above.
